1. Purpose and scope This user guide provides set up instructions and the description of the STDP2600 reference board RD4-2600

(P/N 400-627) targeted for HDMI to DP++ (DisplayPort TX or HDMI/DVI output) conversion applications.

RD4-2600

2. Description The STDP2600 is MegaChips’ latest generation of HDMI converter series product that features an HDMI1.4

compliant receiver and DisplayPort dual mode transmitter technology that supports both DisplayPort and

TMDS signal formats. The HDMI receiver supports a link rate up to 3.0GHz, 3D video formats and 16-bit

deep color. The DisplayPort transmitter supports HBR2 speed, a data rate of 5.4 Gbps per lane with a total

bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps link rate. In addition, the DisplayPort transmitter is capable of supporting HDMI or

single link DVI output through a passive level translator (dongle). When configured as HDMI output, this

device supports link rate up to 2.97 Gbps that corresponds to a pixel rate of 297 MHz, adequate for

supporting video resolution up to FHD 120 Hz with all 3D formats.

The STDP2600 RD4 board is intended for the product evaluation and testing. The board contains a standard

HDMI input connector, a standard DP++ output connector and a micro USB connector for powering. It also

includes an SPI flash for storing the firmware, a UART connector for debugging and In-system programming

purpose (Firmware download) and an I2C slave interface to configure the device from an external host

controller (optional).

3. Set up instructions The picture below is a typical connection diagram showing a Notebook with HDMI output driving a

TV/monitor using STDP2600 RD board.

1. Connect HDMI output from the notebook to HDMI input of STDP2600 RD board using standard

HDMI cable.

2. Connect the DP output of STDP2600 RD board to either DP input of LCD monitor or HDMI input

of the TV/LCD monitor through a passive dongle.

3. Power up the RD board by plugging in the microUSB cable (supplied with board) from an

external USB source (Ex: one of the USB ports from the Notebook).

4. Use a DP monitor/ HDMI TV that has audio output for testing the audio conversion through the

STDP2600 RD board as well.

5. Once the connection is established and the board is powered, an image should appear on the

screen within 2-3 seconds.

4. Diagnosis If the image does not come up, follow the steps below for diagnosis.

Note: The diagnosis requires MegaChips GProbe software and hardware tool. Contact MegaChips for the GProbe software and board.

6. Install the MegaChips GProbe diagnostic tool on a Windows OS based PC/NB and set the baud

rate to 115,200.

7. Connect GProbe board to the serial port (or USB port if using USB version of Gprobe board) of

the computer.

8. Connect the other end of the GProbe board to UART connector (CN502) on the STDP2600 RD

board using 4-wire cable (part of the GProbe board). Note: CHECK the POLARITY while

connecting the cable; Pin 1 is marked on the board. The 4-wire cable connection from CN502 to

GProbe board is 1 to 1.

9. Hit the Reset button on the board (RESET SW501). You will see Firmware version and date of

firmware in the GProbe window. This indicates the DP Receiver IC is functional. If the message

does not appear, reprogram the SPI flash using the ISP method described in the GProbe user

guide.

10. Using an oscilloscope, check the video input and output from the STDP2600 RD board.

Note: Refer to the STDP2600 datasheet for pin-out descriptions.

4.1. In-System Programming (ISP)

The STDP2600 RD board uses SPI Flash to store the firmware. For new firmware upgrade, following method

is recommended.

ISP through UART connector: Allows programming of the SPI Flash through UART (CN502) connector. This

requires GProbe board and GProbe software tool from MegaChips. Also contact MegaChips for the latest

binary file.

5.3. Principal components and functions

Below is a summary of all necessary connectors, switches, and other components. Please refer to the latest

board schematics for further details.

Table 1. Principal components and functions

Label Description Ref des Power Input (+5 V, uUSB)

Input 5V, down conversion to 3.3 V, and 1.2 V. This board uses an LDO [low-dropout] for 3.3 V and 1.2 V. Note the analog and digital supplies (3.3A and 3.3D or 1.2A and 1.2D) are isolated using ferrite beads.

CN301

STDP2600 MegaChips HDMI1.4 to DP++ (Dual Mode TX) U601 HDMI Input HDMI input connector CN401 Dual Mode TX DP++ output connector CN701 SPI Flash The board includes an SPI Flash of 4 MB to hold the

firmware. The SPI Flash can be programmed (ISP) through UART interface.

U502

S/PDIF Output Not populated

Single wire S/PDIF output signal. Can route the encoded audio through SPDIF audio port

CN501 Not Populated

Host Interface (I2C)

Host Interface (I2C): This is a provision to access the STDP2600 device from an external host controller through the Host Interface (I2C port) connection.

CN503

UART (GProbe)

GProbe Interface (+3.3 V logic): GProbe connector that connects to the STDP2600 UART port for communication with external PC sources for debug purposes. The MegaChips GProbe tool (software) and PC interface board together create a debug environment for device debug and firmware update. The GProbe interface is also used for ISP purposes.

CN502

Reset Reset Button, when pressed, triggers a system reset through the internal reset circuitry. The reset button is used for system reset and debugs purposes

SW501

LED Single LED for indicating the power on status. D301 Crystal A crystal of 27 MHz. Y501 ESD Diodes ESD protection diodes for HDMI and DisplayPort signal

(main lanes, AUX and HPD line). The board implements low cost ESD diodes.
